manufacturing in both of these disciplinesis needed8. Many current engineering programs do not emphasize the marriage of design andmanufacturing in a modern industrial technical workforce [10].Many research studies have assessed the quality of exposure to manufacturing through the seniordesign or capstone course. McMasters and Lang indicate that few people in industry have anunderstanding of how the current engineering education is undertaken. Through design projects,the inclusion of industry partners in the education process will enhance the education provided tothe students and better reflect the expectations of industry [11]. Universities are exposingstudents to manufacturing through senior capstone design courses to offer students with arealistic

costly,and eventually were stopped or replaced with traditional lectures. Nonetheless, these studies andattempts had a significant contribution in underlying the importance of practical approaches inconveying knowledge to students in heat transfer and thermodynamics courses, which traditionallyare dry-lecture based. Moreover, the contribution of thermal-fluids energy systems performancein global sustainable development is substantial but was not emphasized until recently. Thereforeit may not be reflected in the already developed learning modules for these traditional courses.Our team re-developed our thermal-fluid related courses in Engineering Technology curricula byincluding several modules involving industry-like scenarios as laboratory

Students in the course received one or more of three tools designed to be“mindset interventions,” i.e., to help students shift from a fixed to a growth mindset. The firsttool was a series of workshops taught by the tutors, guiding the students in reflecting on theirexperiences so far in the course and how they fit into a fixed or growth mindset. The second toolwas a handout listing resources, tools, and tips successful computing students frequently use toget unstuck. This handout would be referenced by the tutors whenever they helped a student,guiding them towards a recognition that they

Page 13.224.9Based on the collected information and given facility layout of company K, the student team was ableto generate a flow chart to have a clearer, more visualized understanding of each process. The flowchart also presented locations of the processes and relative distances between them. Upon obtaining allof this information and reflecting on the current status, the student team immediately started to workwith the operator and manager in on a value stream map. The reason of a creating current value streammap with the presence of company staff right after collecting data is to make sure the current maprepresents the current status of company K to the best extent. Any error or omission of important dataat this stage will lead to failure

ProductDevelopment for utilization in academia based upon existing best practices in industry. Theproposed definition is formulated as a coupling of an engineering process and a leadershipframework, which respectively formulate the mission and vision for the process. Theengineering process is based upon classic theories of product development integrated within aconcurrent, sustainability focused framework. The leadership framework, which is developed asan expansion of the aforementioned TBL, completes the SPD process by providing guidance forthe establishment of a sustainability focused culture within an enterprise. After introducing thisprocess, a reflection detailing the challenges and opportunities associated with the inclusion ofSPD principles within a

also includes physicsbased dynamics that mimic inertial and gravitational aspects of a model. The Demo3D package includes a wide variety of materials handling components built in.Though these are potentially interesting from a safety standpoint, they only reflect a very smallportion of the broader range of machines to be considered. Other components may be importedfrom a variety of solid modeling sources. Options include traditional solid modeling and CADpackages, but also include Google’s freely distributed Sketchup software(http://sketchup.google.com).For exploring this software as a possible teaching instrument, the Sketchup software was chosen.Though the interface for Sketchup is unconventional and not necessarily appropriate for

began toorganize around what seemed to be a natural division of physics into its constituent parts –electronics, mechanics, chemical, etc. While engineering became specialized in theorganizational structure of a technical business, schools reflected this specialization as well bycreating majors and even specifying different types of engineering degrees – e.g., mechanical,electrical, industrial. Companies hired based on these degrees. “We need to hire 4 electricalengineers, 6 mechanical engineers and 5 industrial engineers.” Departments were created tomanage these areas of engineering specialization – grouping engineers of similar training – andthe organization pyramid began to form. Each department has group leaders, section heads anddepartment

"For the safety of itsworkers, this employer must take effective and expeditious action to eliminate these conditionsand prevent their recurrence."OSHA found that maintenance employees were not supplied with and did not use personalprotective equipment to
